We all know that Sinner fans are biased when it comes to Alcaraz. So when they say Alcaraz is finnish we dont take them serious since they can not be objective. So i am gonna ask Alcaraz and the "neutral" fans this question: do you believe he will ever win another non FO slam? As for me i am really low on him. On HC slams he is not even better than Zverev and can easily lose to someone like Draper and Djokovic. I am not even bringing up Sinner here. On grass he is clearly weaker than Sinner. The only slam i can see him being a top contender at is FO.
To Alcaraz and the "neutral" fans: Do you believe Alcaraz will ever win another non FO slam?

Great thread!! He can win if Sinner is injured or someone beats Sinner
i am talking about the future. Zverev took him out at AO. Also Zverev always gets to semis at AO or USO. On the other side Alcaraz can lose in 2nd round to BVZ or Novak in the quarterfinal. Zverev has shown more consistency on HC slams

Alcaraz has already beat Sinner at UsO . He has beat Sinner at FO. Sinner hasn't beaten him at either venue.
Alcaraz has not beat Sinner at W and AO. Basically they are better than each other at 2 of the 4 slams . It's a replica of Nadal and Djokovic.

Yeah Zverev doesn't have a leg to stand on because he hasn't actually won one yet. However, it is true Carl doesn't fair up to his standards at the AO. But that's largely due to him not getting a hot start to the beginning of the season. I think if he really wanted the AO, he's shuffle his schedule a bit. Then again, Sinner can still perform there better. But every year? Not sure about that.
Sinner in 2022 and Sinner now are two completely different players. Also Sinner was serving for the match and choked. And that version of Sinner wasnt close to what he is now. I believe todays Sinner would win in 4 sets if they replayed this match

The doom and gloom on TTW is utterly insane, especially when it comes off the back of a 23 match winning streak.
Someone wins, they are GOAT forever, someone loses, and they are history.
Weren't there thread post RG talking about how Sinner is a pigeon and will likely only get worse against Alcaraz?

Oh for sure!! I don't think it has to be a easy draw either. This kid can go on a tear one day and it could be a generational run. I'm talking Fed 05 or Djoker 11. He's still got time despite having achieved so much already. I wouldn't put this passed him.

Conditions at USO will suit alcaraz more as courts are higher bouncing so if they meet in the final in NY I'd put alot of money on Alcaraz.
Remember I was the only person who for months said Sinner would win Wimbledon
No, there were no threads of Sinner being pigeon in fact most people said he choked and should have actually won. They still felt great about Sinner and his chance at at Wimbledon. Now look at Alcaraz, do you see anything positive going into the future? I dont. He is more likely to go out before the US Open final than actually reaching and winning it. Same goes for AO. Ask anyone how they felt for Sinner before Wimbledon and how they feel now for Alcaraz before USO and AO.

My friend, there were several threads, I saw them.
As for the specific question, I think Sinner wins USO as it stands right now, it is too soon for Alcaraz. But I don't think he is done by a long shot, he will win more no RG slams, but I do feel RG is where he will rack them up the most.
the ball bounce is higher you are right but US Open courts are faster than say a couple years ago. A lot of tennis fans still have the perception of a slow HC when talking about USO which is false.
look, obviously some people said he is cooked after that RG final but most people felt he should have won and played great. Can you say same about Carlos after Wimbledon final?

Alcaraz prefers a faster court IF its high bouncing. It still gives him time to unload as the ball isn't skidding through as it will on grass or at the AO. That's where he really gets caught out

They called him a choker, and a few said that loss will haunt him and could impact him for the upcoming slams, there was all kinds of doom and gloom.
This is a classic case of recency bias...Carlos was the hottest heading into that W final, and had he played any other player, he would have won it. Sinner nearly went out to Dimitrov. Tennis can be very unpredictable. Alcaraz was long overdue a slam final loss, but I am sure he will bounce back strong. He is an ATG level of player.

This post makes no sense at all, Alcaraz just won the French Open. Sinner has yet to prove himself at the FO. As a result Alcaraz has the highest probability of winning the French Open out of any player on tour right now.

Carl made 3 Wimby Fs in a row won 2/3 of them. 2025 was his worst performance of the 3 so he’s more than capable of raising his game in the future to beat the Sinner there. As far as HC goes, Carl actually leads there 5-2 and did beat the Sinner to eventually win the USO.
Now if I had to say which is more likely I’d say a win at Wimby. But this rivalry is far too close to say either guy is going to such the other down completely at any of the GS venues.

sinner won convincingly the wim final, but he only had the upper hand after the break in 3rd set at 4 all. till that it was 50 - 50, maybe even very small advantage alcaraz. so i dont see why alcaraz should not be able to win against sinner at wimbledon, even though sinner will be probably the slightly favourite.

I see the next few years playing out like the NBA Finals. One player will win, the next match the losing player will make adjustments and he'll win, then the next match the other player will make adjustments, and so on.

He's an ATG, even if he suddenly turned into Nadal in overspecialization, I still expect him to win a few US Opens and Wimbledons at minimum
AO is a bit more complex ATM, can't see him beating Sinner there, but favorable circumstances may come over the years, who knows

He'll probably win some more Slams but IMO it's going to be very one-sided 'rivalry' with Sinner - think Navratilova vs Evert in slam finals which Navratilova led 10 to 4.

Too late for that. Nadal wasn't pushed to 5 in any RG final, let alone having adverse match points.
There's no way Alcaraz stops Sinner from winning RG as regularly as Nadal did with Federer and Djokovic.
Only fanatical fan boys would be dense enough to say Ratz is finnish or won't win any other big ones. As a Sinner fan I can tell you with absolute certainty that, yes, of course Alcaraz will win (many) more slams. On all surfaces.

He won the FO by the smallest margins in five close sets and coming back from three Championship points down, and this is supposed to be his strongest surface. By all rights, Sinner should be holding the AO, FO and Wimbledon right now.
I can only see Sinner improving on clay and grass going forward. I'm less optimistic about Carlos's ability to adapt given his inconsistency even within a match. Throwing his serve away to love at the start of the second set at Wimbledon, without Sinner even having to lift his game, was just a bizarre lapse in concentration that can't simply be coached away.

Some bookies actually have Alcaraz as slight favorite for Wimbledon 2026, whereas from what I can see they all have him and Sinner as joint favorite (at 6/4) for Roland Garros 2026. Not saying I agree with them, but those are the odds.
They do all have Sinner as close to even money for both the US Open and the Australian Open, with Alcaraz further off for the latter than for the former.

I wouldn't be surprised if he wins the 4 slams from now until he retires.
So yes, he's definitely winning another one.

Alcaraz will win many slams outside of Clay. He's too good not to, Alcaraz fans have absolutely nothing to be concerned about.

Sinner LOST, almost only counts with horse shoes and hand grenades.
No one in history deserves anything EVER, you either win or you lose, the end.
Alcaraz is the favorite for the FO until he loses.

Not at the HC slams, where he's lost to Djokovic, Medvedev, Zverev and Van de Zandschulp since winning 2022 USO.
I actually disagree with them there, Carlos has a better shot in Australia than he does this year in Flushing imo.
His mental is completely demolished, Sinner has gotten in his head and the physical toll has built up. His body is in tatters from a grueling summer. Meanwhile he has quietly played like absolute garbage in America since Cincy ‘23 with unforgivable losses to complete randoms like Medvedev and Van de Zandschulp where he heavily underperformed.
I give Jannik a 99.9% chance at USO as a result. However, there may be a slight 2% chance for Carlos in Australia with the benefit of an offseason.

Come for the tennis coverage- stay for the comedy
It's a fact, though, that Alky is losing to relative nobodies on HCs. After hearing for a few years that he was tennis's version of the Second Coming, I do find that amusing.
